4th of July at Grand Park

Grand Park throws a free party every year for the 4th of July, in downtown Los Angeles. They were expecting thousands of visitors to their web site on the day of the event, and were concerned this might cause a slowdown or outage.

To address this, we put the Grand Park web site behind Cloudflare’s content delivery network which cached the entire site as static files that can be served quickly.

We also created a microsite for the event in static HTML, hosted on GitHub Pages, with a fresh, responsive design to show off their beautiful poster illustrations—and used an application cache to keep the web site available if a user’s device is offline.
